Hi.

Could you please reflect in documentation, that ruby gem mysql on Windows requires libmysql.dll from MySQL server 5.0. And so old MySQL server release is already nowhere to be found.

libmysql.dll from MySQL 5.1 and 5.5 crashes application.

I had to download php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.zip and take libmysql.dll from there. It worked. I placed it into Ruby\bin folder.
